Hanging the new Wakefield exhibition
We had an enjoyable day hanging the latest Clare White show at the beautiful Orangery in Wakefield last week. The show runs from January 16th until March 28th and is open week days – see http://www.beam.uk.net/exhibitions/ for full details. There will be two exciting Wakefield Art Walk events during the show – on Wednesday Jan 25th and Wed March 28th (http://artwalk.org.uk/about/) – when visitors can tour the city’s plethora of arts venues through the evening, including The Hepworth gallery, Wakefield Theatre Royal and the Art Space studios. It would be great to catch up with you!
Clare White’s 20th Century Watercolours – The Orangery, Wakefield, January – March 2012
This exhibition brings White’s bright and beautiful paintings to the home town of her friend and St Ives contemporary, Barbara Hepworth. The sculptor’s international profile was celebrated with the opening of the new Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield in 2011. Close by, the Orangery is a restored building and busy arts centre nestled in a tiny park in the middle of town.
